i mean it seems to me like with this game there is more bad than good i mean i was planing on asking for it for Christmas but i just don't really hear good things about this game i really only hear bad things...i don't know its kind of making me unsure

What Ronin said. Take away the lag and the game can be great. I like a lot of stuff about Black Ops 2 better such as how they track stats. It's much more detailed. The layout of the maps in Black Ops 2 was great, but offered tons of headglitching spots. In this game the maps are huge and have multiple levels and doesn't have headglitching spots. Most things are too high for you to just pop your head up. I love those aspects of them. However, Ghosts has TONS of corners for people to hide in on these maps. Though that is slightly annoying, a lack of lag and a good reaction time can solve that problem.

I guess it comes down to how lucky you are. If it's not lagging then the game is good. If you are lagging, then it will just make you angry.

I'd say it would be a good gift for anyone who owns a Wii U and wants an FPS. Though game experiences will vary depending on your connection to the host.

Overall I think it's solid. I'm not lagging enough to make me hate it, but it does get on my nerves. I like the controls MUCH better. Treyarch really nailed them. Thanks for the work on that Trey! I'm kinda all over the place here. I wanted to get in as much as I could without writing a book.

In short, yes I think it's a good gift for a Wii U owner. If' it's their first FPS though, make sure they practice. This one has a steep learning curve compared to previous games.

Terrible Spawns (being spawned literally centimeters or inches from where you died, with back turned to enemy)

Overpowered Weapons (weapons that can kill in two shots and have no reasonable recoil; sniper rifles)

Too quick to see deaths (see OP weapons)

Weak game modes (got rid of Demolition, how dare you!)

If you don't particularly care about any of the above, then Call of Duty: Ghosts may be a Christmas gift for you. I, however, am going to wait a loooong long time before I even consider getting it. Like, middle of 2014 price drop is what I'm talking about.

I'm with you on everything except this. What are these "OP" 2 hit weapons? And C'mon son, nothings wrong with snipers unless you're a bad player with either garbage reaction time or mindlessly run around in the open. Assault Rifles/MTAR-X are the god tier master race of Ghosts and all the other weapon types tremble at their feet begging for mercy.

I don't know. LMGs seem pretty good to me so far considering how big some of the maps are. But yeah, AR's are the way to go for the most part. I haven't found much use for SMGs. Everything seems to outgun them. Even the small maps are big enough that ARs have the advantage. Everytime I try using an SMG I end up switching to the Honeybadger. Except for the MTAR, but it's more of a hybrid.

I have yet to try sniping in public matches. Haven't had time to practice much. With what little time I have I would rather just hop on and start playing. Man it sure does feel like it takes forever to level up. And some of these challenges....75 kills with a sentry gun. I have 7 so far. I'm lucky to get 1 kill with that thing. Maps are so big that people can just avoid them or take them out from a distance.

I'm doing good with the LSAT, but then again that's the only one I tried. Maybe I should have said one of the LMGs is good. I haven't unlocked the others yet. I haven't even tried like half the guns in this game I don't think. I've tried 4 different SMGs though and besides the MTAR they have been useless. Takes forever to unlock stuff. Or at least it feels like it. My squad points don't last long divided among 3 members.

Yeah and here`s a Q n A by an Infinity Ward dev asking UK players how they like the lag free experience. His reactions when he gets told of lag of upwards of 3 seconds, and some of the crazy deaths these people suffer, well, just watch his reactions. Proof if ever it was needed that we are being mugged off

PS watch Paulys appearance at 2:08 when he presumed Pauly was lag free seeing as he said he wasnt buying the game but did anyway

hi. in my opinion its the best cod game ever and many of my friends around the world think so too. many people on this site are complaining about terrible lag (which i experienced in bo2 myself but not on ghost. 8 of 10 games feels great for me like in the previous titles on the wii) and the 'bad' spawns. i wont talk about the lag issues some are experiencing in this game but the so called 'bad spawns' are easy to be controlled, if you and your teammates know what you have to do. i recommend you to rent this game first before buying it, so that you can see if its worth or not for you.

the last sentence. yes. either rent, or try out a friends game perhaps. i love this game, even though i may get mad or frustrated at something sometimes. that said, this game is not for everyone. its all about personal preference, and you should "test the water" before diving straight in.

The sniping is actually 10x better than BO2. Much quicker handling/high damage.

I was mainly referring to quickscoping. Everyone said it's more difficult in this game. Seems like it. I haven't seen anyone doing it after they fixed that wiimote exploit. Those people doing that were the only ones that I have even seen actually doing it successfully. I haven't actually tried QS yet with either controller. I haven't done my normal testing or anything actually. I'm so short on time that I just hop on and play when I can instead of spending my time testing AA, QS, recoil, or whatever. Almost done unpacking though so maybe I can sit down and try some different stuff soon.

I really Hope since they will be making the game that they will give us bonus add ons as well as full support and stuff. I realised it was IW who pooped on us and trey you guys are awesome, pleas blow IW out of the water with your next title and give us more than they ever did(dlc , dedicated servers, People from treyarch who play with us on certain weekends and whatnot, actual events to get people to play, and stuff like that.

People have a really short memory. Bo2 is no better than ghosts in many ways. Ghosts just has more glitch spots. Bo2 had bad spawns and the lag and connection issues are no better. People would die with out seeing who it was that shot them. Treyarch are just as awful as IW. They both should STOP making fps games..

Who do you think should? Because we have little 3rd party companies that make titles for nintendo.

I have no idea mate, and at this point I don't even care as I'm about to quit gaming for good if the next patch doesn't fix any of the REAL issues. I'm tired of this business and the poor quality rubbish they spew out for multi million profits. Its immoral and shouldn't be supported..

Well, if you're wanting a different COD experience, it is a major shift in gameplay from BO2. The lag is bad right now but squads mode is a lot of fun against bots. Overall I'm enjoying the game mainly because its different and the bots seem a lot more realistic than before.

If you have friends, siblings, or a pet, Super Mario 3D World is THE game to get that holiday season. Ghosts just isn't worth the $60 /right now/. The day ghosts came out, I bought Ghosts and arkham city. Arkham city cost me $17, and I've put more time into that than Ghosts. The spawns KILL ghosts for me.

Ahh...AC4. That game is a gem. Even after you beat the game, you can easily pour 30+ more hours in completing everything else the game has to offer. It's better than AC3, especially with the naval battles. You'll love it.

yeah i thought about getting 3D world but i want the game to be like galaxy so i might be going in expecting too much because i really liked galaxy and i'm pretty sure this game is trying to do its own thing
